The only thing I post nowadays Miniature Monday! Well I will be better posting more stuff up here, currently moving and making a new hobby room so between that, having young kids and some painting there isn't much time left...

But for now, here's my Mini Monday for today!

My old Tzeentch Daemon Prince, now on a 60 mm round base. Still WIP as I can't help myself not to do some repainting when I at it changing bases. I have redone the skin, the cloth and and the sword so far. Still highlights left to do on the skin, and I also want to redo the black on the wings. Also some more highlights here and there and more work on the base and it's done. Will of course post up new better pictures when it's finished, but for now this will have to do. Happy wargaming and painting guys!

Cheating a little here, this beast was finished for quite some time and I did nothing with the paintwork when I re-based this guy, I was happy with how he looked already. I did however put some extra effort into his base, as I got the idea that the magical vortex is tearing up the ground around him and magical energy is pouring out.

I might have overdone it but I quite like the effect, tell me what you think in the comments! I really like this model, it suits Tzeentch so well so he will be a nice centerpiece for my upcoming Tzeentch army. Now I just need to get some matching Chaos Spawns in case he summons some up in my games.

Continuing working on my rebasing of my entire WoC army and here's the latest one. You might remember this one, I painted it quite some years ago. I liked how it looked, but it could look better and I got an idea.

The vortex on my Mualith Vortex Beast looked really good in my opinion, it was painting using one of WoC painting guides for the iPad from GW. So I went looked up what colors I used, and used them to repaint the flaming skull on this model.

And I liked the result! So much as I will use this color scheme for my Tzeentch army on flames, magical stuff and what not.

I did a fair bit of repainting on this model so now it is pretty much an totally new model. Still bit unsure on the grey/white robes, maybe should have gone with something darker there...

What do you guys think? Tell me in the comments.

Re-did the base as well, the guy is magnetized as well. Think I will add this effect on some other bases as well in the army to make them look more interesting.

Yeah I'm cheating a little here, not really new models, but new bases and I think they got an whole new and more dynamic look.

These models where a pain to rank up, especially with Throgg in the unit as well. So the new round bases makes this much easier (Throgg is almost done as well), and with the dynamic poses these models have I think the round (50 mm in this case) bases looks awesome. What do you think?

Did this as easy as I could. As Iv'e put a lot of work into bases before I wanted to keep that and just transfer them over to rounds. 40 mm would look to small so I went with 50 mm, cut of the edges and the cut away all the square excess. I then glued it on top of the new round base, used PVS, sand, some rocks and stuff to build up the rest around the old base. It takes some time, but this way I could keep the work Iv'e already done to the bases.

Not reinforcements in game terms just yet though. But I finally got my box of AoS from Wayland Games (it had been in the post office here for over a week without me knowing it :( ) Anyway, got some nice stuff in here so here we go.

My camera battery charger is still missing, so photos taken with my OnePlus One Phone will have to do.

So what do we got here, an Lord-Celestant on foot, and Lord-Castellant with his Gryphound. One box each of Paladins, Liberators and Judicators. The two AoS books (and I really like these), two new terrain pieces and an assortment of new round and oval bases.

So a lot of stuff, so far I have only checked everything out and I like everything, details are nice and crisp a lot of bits which is nice as we didn't have any with just the AoS starter box. Read through the books, not expecting much because of what many says about on the interwebz. But I really liked them, it's what I wanted really. More scenarios, more fluff and some nice pictures. Sure many pages are wasted on stuff we already seen, warscrolls, the rules etc. But I really liked to read them actually.

I want more stuff, like the Celestant-Prime, the Portals and some of the future releases for the Stormcast Eternals. But will wait with that order, for now I have plenty to do already.

About me

I'm a 30 year old gamer of all kinds from Sweden. I've been in the hobby since 98-99 and when it comes to wargaming I'm mostly into the painting/converting part. This is mostly due the fact that my friends interest in the hobby has waxed and waned from time to time and I haven't been able to play as much as I would have liked.
I'm now also a father to two wonderful little girls so the the hobby time is sparse at best. But I try my best anyway to play games, paint and write posts on my blog and I hope you enjoy your stay here :)
